Last name Los (Łoś) from Bialystok, also: Moskal, Zoltek, Starzec - Galicia, Kolbuszowa

Does anyone have any information on the last name £os from around the town of Białystok?

You probably had in mind the surname spelled like: £oś

Los can be many differant names. When I seach for "Lochka" I was told one version is "Los". There are about ten differant names that link to"Los". I will look for the site and get you all of them.

I was just thinking of a great resourse location I found for "Los". Go to Warsaw archives and released archives. They had school records, pictures, mass cards and many many more items all for the "Los" families from Poland.

Yes and what dos Ania Gil know about the history of her family?

Hi

My grandfather was Marcin Starzec and he was born Kolbuszowa in 1921 on the family farm. I'm not sure if him & Zofia could be related however I understand it is quite a small town.

If you find any connection I would be grateful if you could let me know and vice versa.

Good luck with your search

Thanks, I will try to find out more info.

My great grandfather was Warwzeniak Gil, from Durdy, which is about 20 miles northeast of Widelka. Also, he had a cousin (I believe) with the same name from Krzatka, which is about 15 miles from Widelka. If you look at the Polish Surname Map, you'll see that the Gil surname is popular throughout the Tarnobrzeg region. Probably not too helpful with your inquiry, but I just wanted to put the information out there.

My grandmother was born in Luchow Gorny and her last name was Cieryt.

CIERYT: Posisbly from the dialectal verb cierać (to wipe, scrub, rub, scrape) or perhaps a toponymic tag from the village of Cierchy in the Świętokrzyskie region of southern Poland.

my grandmother Agnieszka Starzec born about 1876 may have had a sister or cousin Sophia Starzec. Both were from Kolbuszowa. Sophia married a Simon Wilk and Agnieska married Simon Zawadzki both from Dzikowiec. Sophia had 3 children, 2 boys and one girl. Only the eldest boy came to the US. His name was Joseph. Sophia's daughter may have been Evka or Eva.

Joseph was put in a German work camp during the war and came to the States once the war over.
